I can not say enough positive comments about the service that Wagners of Westlake has given us. From the beginning they have guided my daughter, son in-law and I on every step to make their wedding dreams come true. They have a wonderful hard working staff. The food was...

They were on hand personally to make sure everything went smoothly. The food was fantastic, I highly recommend the filet. Everyone had more than enough to eat and drink.

(Set up to dance, eat and Mingle) The fireplace and bar Reception Area were beautiful for the cocktail reception. (Spend the extra few bucks for the apps, they went over big). My grandma is 95 and the bathrooms were easy for her to use and get to. All 6 of my bridesmaids and myself were able to spruce up in the adjoining pamper room. I would definitely and already have recommended Wagner's for any type of reception be it a wedding or party. They worked within our budget and we were not disappointed! Our Ballroom came pre-lit with some beautiful twinkle lights and decorative sash work around the chandeliers. It gave the perfect touch to our night. Susan and Mary were wonderful, the chef even was available to go over dietary restrictions and details of his menu. ( We had vegans and celiac allergies) I did not expect all the extra touches that came with Wagner's, but we definitely enjoyed them. Thank you Wagner's for making our wedding reception wonderful! Sincerely, the Borrellos.

Read More Every step of the way, Susan and Mary offered great suggestions and were accommodating to all of our needs. From last minute seating changes to "calming the bride down" due to unexpected gaffes with the DJ company, they went above and beyond to make sure the reception went off smoothly.

This was a surprise (no-charge!!) extra that Susan and Mary did on their own - it was a wonderful addition that I never would have thought of.

Susan at Wagner's was a godsend!! Our initial venue double booked our day and we were left without a venue at about 60 days out- talk about panicking!! So while gathering together what was left of our day, I started looking for another venue. I ran across Wagner's and always... Read More remembered them from my sister's high school awards ceremonies and thought hey this might work.... We ended up calling and making an appointment just to go over pricing and my mother and I were so happy with the package and quote we negotiated -we ended up booking the day and leaving a deposit. They worked with us through all of the details and offered great ideas when were just stuck and a little burned out. Weddings are tough!! So Let's forward to the big day- We decided to exchange our vows there as well so as not to make it confusing for our guests having to drive to one place first then another. The ballroom turned out amazing!! perfect venue for our group and a great place to exchange vows, we had more than enough room so it was perfect. Susan was nothing short of a miracle that day helping us get through with our precession, making sure no one interrupted our ceremony and getting us through to the cocktail and app hour Whew!! we made it :) The food on the buffet was absolutely spectacular and going with the chef carved prime rib gave it that extra something we were looking for. Trust me, you cant go wrong with it. After the dinner service, they quickly and quietly tore down the buffet and moved us seamlessly into the next phase- the party!! The its ok we got through it with no major disasters and let your hair down part of the night and it was just perfect!! I cant thank Susan or the staff enough for all of their help and in rescuing our special day they went above and beyond what was expected. So thank you Susan and Wagner's for making our day wonderful for both us and our guests!!!
